SHERLOCK HOLMES TALES OF SUSPENSE

Edward Hardwicke, the fine British actor who played Dr. Watson to the late Jeremy Brett’s Holmes on PBS, reads three stories with chilling suspense. His deep, colorful voice perfectly captures the sinister atmosphere of Conan Doyle’s stories. No matter how many times the Holmes stories are produced, there will always be an audience for a new rendition. Hardwicke’s readings of “The Sussex Vampire,” “The Creeping Man” and “The Speckled Band” are the finest to come along recently. They will be the perfect accompaniment to a long, rainy drive--especially in the dark. B.V. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG 96]
